[ffmpeg] x264 配置参数解析

背景

创建 x264 编码器后，其有一组默认的编码器配置参数，也可以根据需要修改参数，来满足编码要求。

具体参数

可修改的参数，比较多，这边只列举一些常用的。

获取可以配置的参数

方式1

查看 ffmpeg源码 libx264.c，其中
static const AVOption options[] = {xx}；这表示其可修改的参数，其他编码器类似。

static const AVOption options[] = {{ "preset",        "Set the encoding preset (cf. x264 --fullhelp)",   OFFSET(preset),        AV_OPT_TYPE_STRING, { .str = "medium" }, 0, 0, VE},{ "tune",          "Tune the encoding params (cf. x264 --fullhelp)",  OFFSET(tune),          AV_OPT_TYPE_STRING, { 0 }, 0, 0, VE},{ "profile",       "Set profile restrictions (cf. x264 --fullhelp)",  OFFSET(profile_opt),       AV_OPT_TYPE_STRING, { 0 }, 0, 0, VE},{ "fastfirstpass", "Use fast settings when encoding first pass",      OFFSET(fastfirstpass), AV_OPT_TYPE_BOOL, { .i64 = 1 }, 0, 1, VE},{"level", "Specify level (as defined by Annex A)", OFFSET(level), AV_OPT_TYPE_STRING, {.str=NULL}, 0, 0, VE},{"passlogfile", "Filename for 2 pass stats", OFFSET(stats), AV_OPT_TYPE_STRING, {.str=NULL}, 0, 0, VE},{"wpredp", "Weighted prediction for P-frames", OFFSET(wpredp), AV_OPT_TYPE_STRING, {.str=NULL}, 0, 0, VE},{"a53cc",          "Use A53 Closed Captions (if available)",          OFFSET(a53_cc),        AV_OPT_TYPE_BOOL,   {.i64 = 1}, 0, 1, VE},{"x264opts", "x264 options", OFFSET(x264opts), AV_OPT_TYPE_STRING, {.str=NULL}, 0, 0, VE},{ "crf",           "Select the quality for constant quality mode",    OFFSET(crf),           AV_OPT_TYPE_FLOAT,  {.dbl = -1 }, -1, FLT_MAX, VE },{ "crf_max",       "In CRF mode, prevents VBV from lowering quality beyond this point.",OFFSET(crf_max), AV_OPT_TYPE_FLOAT, {.dbl = -1 }, -1, FLT_MAX, VE },{ "qp",            "Constant quantization parameter rate control method",OFFSET(cqp),        AV_OPT_TYPE_INT,    { .i64 = -1 }, -1, INT_MAX, VE },{ "aq-mode",       "AQ method",                                       OFFSET(aq_mode),       AV_OPT_TYPE_INT,    { .i64 = -1 }, -1, INT_MAX, VE, "aq_mode"},{ "none",          NULL,                              0, AV_OPT_TYPE_CONST, {.i64 = X264_AQ_NONE},         INT_MIN, INT_MAX, VE, "aq_mode" },{ "variance",      "Variance AQ (complexity mask)",   0, AV_OPT_TYPE_CONST, {.i64 = X264_AQ_VARIANCE},     INT_MIN, INT_MAX, VE, "aq_mode" },{ "autovariance",  "Auto-variance AQ",                0, AV_OPT_TYPE_CONST, {.i64 = X264_AQ_AUTOVARIANCE}, INT_MIN, INT_MAX, VE, "aq_mode" },

通过 ffmpeg 命令行查找
ffmpeg -h encoder=libx264

常用参数讲解

preset

主要调节编码速度和质量的平衡
可以设置的值，{ “ultrafast”, “superfast”, “veryfast”, “faster”, “fast”, “medium”, “slow”, “slower”, “veryslow”, “placebo”, 0 };
如何获取可以设置哪些值，看注释是编译 x264，然后运行 x264 --fullhelp 可以看到。我这边嫌麻烦没有编译，看 x264 源码获取的

tune

主要配合视频类型和视觉优化的参数
可以设置的值，{ “film”, “animation”, “grain”, “stillimage”, “psnr”, “ssim”, “fastdecode”, “zerolatency”, 0 };
film： 电影、真人类型；
animation： 动画；
grain： 需要保留大量的grain时用；
psnr： 为提高psnr做了优化的参数；
ssim： 为提高ssim做了优化的参数；
fastdecode： 可以快速解码的参数；
zerolatency：零延迟，用在需要非常低的延迟的情况下，比如电视电话会议的编码。

profile

支持一组特定的编码功能，并支持一类特定的应用
x264_profile_names[] = { “baseline”, “main”, “high”, “high10”, “high422”, “high444”, 0 };
baseline：基本画质。支持I/P 帧，只支持无交错（Progressive）和CAVLC； 　　
main：主流画质。提供I/P/B 帧，支持无交错（Progressive）和交错（Interlaced），也支持CAVLC 和CABAC 的支持；
high：高级画质。在main Profile 的基础上增加了8x8内部预测、自定义量化、 无损视频编码和更多的YUV 格式；

level

每个profile 都规定了一个算法特征和限制的子集，任何遵守某个profile 的解码器都应该支持与其相应的子集。
每个level都规定了一组对标准中语法成员（syntax element）所采用的各种参数值的限制。

nal-hrd

码率控制方式 。
none —— 不使用 hrd
vbr —— 可变码率
cbr —— 稳定码率

crf

qp

psy

rc-lookahead
